| Description: |
Bryce Canyon National Park, in southern Utah, was first set aside as a national monument in 1923 to preserve an amphitheater of colorful pinnacles, spires, and walls, all carved by erosive weathering. Bryce Canyon is a place long noted for color and shapes. But much more awaits here. In this place one can stand on top of the world and look to the edge of time. Here "as-far-as-the-eye-can-see" still exists. This canyon that is not a canyon, but an intricately carved edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau, is best known for its hoodoos. These water-carved walls, fins and spires reflect the moving sun with ever-changing colors. |
